What Sherlock Holmes item would you want?
If you were given the chance to receive and keep one memento from any of the stories of the Sherlock Holmes stories, which one would it be?
For example, you could ask for and receive: a pipe used by Holmes, the Persian slipper, magnifying glass, or any token of appreciation given to Holmes; any item used by Watson, such as the tin box or his notebook; or you can receive any other item in the Canon — a Napoleon bust, the orange pips, even the beryl coronet. You must decide which item would be the most endearing to you and why.
Only two rules apply:
- The item must be from the Canon itself, and not from a pastiche, movie, television or other media.
- You must agree to keep the item for the rest of your life, so you cannot immediately re-sell it (takes away the monetary value for greed purposes).

Tonight I’ll be attending a dinner of the Sons of the Copper Beeches in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, (Friday, April 27 2012) which is super exciting in itself but I’ll also be giving an official toast! I realized the importance of ‘the toast’ even before attending my first Sherlockian function…

Sherlock: Season Two originally aired on BBC One in January and now we’re poised for it to air on PBS’s Masterpiece Mystery in the United States. One of the most intriguing characters of this new series is none other than the adventuress Irene Adler, the antagonist in the first episode “A Scandal in Belgravia.”
So in this episode, titled “The Woman,” we’re joined by the woman who playedthe woman in “A Scandal in Belgravia,” Lara Pulver. An actress, singer and dancer, Lara has the enviable distinction of playing Irene Adler as perceived in the 21st century. She joined us from Chichester after a theatre performance and chatted with us on her experience with Mark Gatiss, Steven Moffat, Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman on the set of the BBC “Sherlock,” and what it was like to inhabit the character of the only woman who beat Sherlock Holmes.
We close the show with an appropriately titled and themed Editor’s Gas-Lamp from the Vol. 41, No. 1 issue of the Baker Street Journal.
